. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 764,260, dated July5, 1904.

Application filed May 5, 1904. Serial No- 206,5Q3. (Remodel) To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK SKELLY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Coal City, in the county of Grundy and State of Illinois,have invented new and useful Improvements in Ditching-Flows, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention is a ditching-plow, and is characterized particularly byimprovements with respect to the shape of point and moldboard wherebythese parts act to cut the bottom and the sides of the ditch and liftthe earth so that it is delivered by the Inoldboard to the side of theditch. V

The plow has a double point and moldboard, throwing the earth to bothsides.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of the plow.Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the plow point or share isindicated at 6 of the shovel type, with the difference that the an gleof the sides, where they join at the front or cutting edge, is quiteobtuse, so that the sole of the plow is broad and the share cuts loose abroad slice below. At the rear edge on each side the share has a wing'7',- which is flared out and curved forwardly to present a cutting edgeat 7 at the front, which edge serves to cut the side of the ditch. Theearth cut by the share and said wings islifted up yond the wings.

and back to the moldboard 8, which extends outwardly and backwardly in aposition to project beyond the edge of the ditch and of proper shape todeliver the earth to the sides of the ditch. The slice is cut by theshare and its wings, and the soil is lifted up and thrown out by themoldboard to each side.

The forwardly-presented cutting edges 7 make unnecessary the use ofcolters to cut 4 the sides of the ditch, and the outwardly-extendingwings serve to assist the cutting and lifting action and to deliver theslice to the moldboards. The beam 9 enters between the moldboards and ispreferably crooked around 4: under the share to take the heavy strainthereon. The handles are shown at 10 inserted behind the moldboard.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A plow comprising a shovel share having at its rear edges, on bothsides, wings curved outwardly and forwardly, and moldboards above,extending rearwardly and laterally be In testimony wh'ereofI have signedmy name to this specification in the' presence of two subscribingwitnesses. PATRICK SKELLY.
